CARES helps communities measure performance and identify how to improve cardiac arrest survival rates. By joining CARES, communities gain more than just access to information that will help them improve performance and save lives. They also contribute to one of the largest EMS registries in the world, and one of the few that also includes patient outcome information from hospitals. Those features enable CARES data to be used to conduct vital research that furthers our knowledge of cardiac arrest treatment and saves countless lives for years to come.
The Red Cross recently underscored CARES findings: survival after bystander-witnessed cardiac arrest is over three times higher when CPR begins before EMS arrives. Yet fewer than half of patients benefit from this lifesaving step. CARES data defines the problem. Community training closes the gap. To
A recent JAMA Network Open study examined more than 10,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and found that rescue breaths may significantly improve outcomes in opioid-related cases. While compression-only CPR remains the default, the research highlights how data from CARES is shaping our understandin
